The City of Raleigh seeks proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide consultancy services for developing a comprehensive Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan for the City of Raleigh and its twenty-eight departments.

• Conduct a thorough risk assessment of The City of Raleigh’s operations, infrastructure, and potential risks.
• Develop a COOP strategy that outlines the procedures, resources, and communication protocols necessary to maintain critical business operations during a crisis.
• Conduct a business impact analysis and business process analysis to evaluate the impact of a disruption on the City of Raleigh’s operations.
• Develop a comprehensive COOP Plan tailored to the City of Raleigh’s specific needs and objectives.
• Conduct tabletop exercises and simulations to test the effectiveness of the COOP Plan, identify gaps, and refine the plan.
